"You are going to pay, Kakashi," I shouted, my tails swishing as I waited for the ANBU to break cover and assist Kakashi, but I couldn't smell their chakra nearby- they must have gone to warn Tsunade. This was good- because I wanted to focus all of my attention on making the lying bastard pay.

"You're going to kill the girl if you keep this up," Kakashi commented coldly. "The time we found her first she had massive damage to her chakra network, and the time after that she had damage."

"Oh dear Kakashi," I laughed. "You know who the Juubi is- so you should know about the little pieces of me, especially since you are so familiar with one of them."

Kakashi frowned before his eyes widened- his Sharingan eye swirling as it attempted to hypnotise me.

"It's not going to work," I purred. "And as for the damage I'm sure you've realised that my healing capacities are beyond that of Kyuubi's capacity."

To prove it to him, I turned around to show him that the burns on by back were gone leaving only a few singed holes in my top and the blackened left hand which was proving difficult to move- but only by a little.

Kakashi took my exposed back as a signal to attack, and ran at me with a kunai aimed to kill. I made no move to stop him and he embedded the kunai deep in my back, hitting my heart and one of my lungs.

"My turn," I said with a grin. I quickly fell forward and kicked backwards in the style of a donkey, hitting him in his solar plexus and knocking him backwards. Swivelling around, I took a deep breath;

'Wind Style: Air Bullet'

I opened my mouth and the air bullet shot towards him, just missing him as he jumped out of the way and headed back towards the surviving trees. I fired a few more air bullets- a skill known by Ichibi before trying a different approach.

You see, all the things the Bijuu can do is a result of what Juubi can do and since my awesomeness Sharinganyness in demon form meant I could copy people's jutsus I was totally awesome- not unbeatable, I'm still pretty sure that all of Akatsuki could kick my perfectly hot ass into next century- especially since my aiming was crap.

Kakashi quickly formed some handsigns- a lot of handsigns, and soon the water from the lake beside him shot towards me in the shape of a dragon. Wait- since when was there a lake?

I stood my ground and let the water dragon hit me, my black chakra evaporating most of the water- but the force of the attack knocking me backwards. Shaking my head, I looked up in time to see something head towards me at high speed- with a shock I realised it was Gai. I quickly sent chakra to my feet before leaping out of the way. The fire Rasengan must have attracted everyone's attention- crap, this was gonna end bad.

Gai did that weird grin of his, and I half-expected it to ping like in the anime.

"Give it up- you are no match for us."

Of course, by that time Kakashi was standing next to him,

"Let your control of the girl go- you don't need to do this."

I sneered at him, waving my two tails around.

"Why? So you can make the girl a weapon for your use? She was better off with Akatsuki- at least there she wasn't in any danger."

Of course, now they were confused- because although they didn't really no much about Akatsuki, they did know they were the bad guys.

"Looks like we'll just have to take her down," said Gai. "Even with the Juubi's soul in her she doesn't have enough power to take us down."

"Power she has plenty of actually," corrected Kakashi, and both viewed the destroyed forest out of the corner of her eye.

"That was an accident," I laughed. "The girl's chakra control is unstable- she used too much chakra in that move. It's just good luck that I gave her my chakra to use instead- she would have died if it wasn't for me."

"But you could've brought her back."

"That's not all I can bring back."

With a laugh I launched my 'different approach'. Vein and Panic appeared either side of me, growling in a way which only dead demon dogs with two mouths each can do. I was happy to see shocked looks on both of the two clowns' faces.

"Enjoy," I purred, as the two demons attacked the shinobi giving me chance to escape.

I dashed away on all fours, making sure I was far away before sniffing around- they weren't coming, though ANBU were approaching. I had to get back to the Akatsuki lair soon.

I channelled all of my chakra to my four limbs as I used the speed that had got me to Konoha to get me away from it. It had taken me about three hours or so to get here, so with a little help I could make the return journey even faster.

It actually took me longer to get there- about three and a half hours in total. But when I finally entered the Akatsuki hideout, no one was there. The black chakra faded, leaving a confused me as to how I had arrived here.

"You came back then? That's a surprise."

I jumped as Zetsu emerged from the floor, not seeming bothered at all that I was back.

"Where's everyone?" I asked him.

"Pein's in his office, everyone else is on missions. Except Konan, but she's not here at the moment."

I nodded, a thousand questions plaguing my mind.

"What does everyone think happened?" I asked Zetsu.

"Hmm? Madara told them Konoha ANBU attacked and took you away; he claims he followed you until ANBU killed you. Yeah, so pretty much everyone thinks your dead, though Itachi knows the truth since it was him you attacked."

I felt a twinge of guilt about that, but by the sounds of it he go away- it was Deidara I was truly concerned about. Did he believe that I was dead? I just hoped he wouldn't do anything rash.

"I should see Pein," I said, more to myself than Zetsu.

So with that I headed up to Pein's 'office' as Zetsu had called it, though I thought it was really just a boring old room- gotta love boring old rooms.

But when I entered said room, it was not Pein there.

"Hello again, Miss Uchiha."

Alright, who put James Bond on while I was gone?
